See every member of my family in person at least once this year. This includes my sister Jackie, brother-in-law Todd, nephew Adam, nieces Ali and Erin, sister Sally, brother-in-law Craig, nephews John Paul and Brennan, dad Galen and step-mother Jan. I saw everyone except for my dad and step-mother in 2009. I'll need to do better in 2010.
